Reason for recommendation:
"Reading a good book for the first time is like getting a good friend. Re-read good books, as if you had learned from the past. "Hou Xiaoqi Learns Mathematics is the first mathematics extracurricular book I have acquired, and after reading it, it is not only fun, but also adds to our love for mathematics, and the significance is that it inspires our love for mathematics and uses mathematics to make outstanding contributions to the society in which we live.
This book is closely related to our lives, from numbers, truths, and some wonderful short stories, it uses many columns of numbers to make readers more interested. Although these little stories may seem trivial and not worth mentioning, this book gives us knowledge, wisdom, strength and love. Knowing a little story is equivalent to learning about a wonderful mathematical discovery. Many problems in our lives can be solved with mathematics, and it can become more interesting, simple, and ingenious because of mathematics.
From 6000 to 4000 B.C., a group of Sumerians lived on the plains of Mesopotamia. By observing the waxing and waning of the moon, they found that it takes seven days from the half-circle to the full moon, seven days from the full moon to the semi-moon, and seven days from the half-circle to the moon, and from the moon to the semi-moon. From this, they discovered that the seven-day cycle is the waxing and waning cycle of the moon. Therefore, they divided the month into four weeks, and set a cycle of seven days, which is the origin of the name "week" in the first place.
Impressions after reading
The math in this book is no longer boring numbers and formulas, but gives us wisdom and strength by telling wonderful stories.
